Now imagine taking none for the entire game, on harder difficulties where projectiles are even faster.

#

I mean, 8.5% of players have successfully done one level on Duskmare, but I have no idea if there's an achievement for full game clear.

crude stirrup
#

after 2 hours i only pass the 3 level in dusk mare or the hardest difficulty

grave saddle
#

There is not an achievement for full game completion on Duskmare.

#

This was because Duskmare is both kind of a joke difficulty and because no one wants to do that.

steady hull
#

It's easy to get Duskmare on the first level, it's the easiest of all levels and all enemies are weak

grave saddle
#

Definitely less.

lament wharf
#

I'm just trying to imagine Dweller in Darkness on Duskmare and I want to cry just at the thought.

steady hull
#

All you need to do is get the Super Shotgun in the first level and you're all in the clear, and use Barrels and Boulders to kill Leathernecks

lament wharf
#

I don't think it's actually possible.

grave saddle
#

It's so cute watching everyone have their moment of dread over the thought.

steady hull
#

Someone actually did it before, that person posted here that they finished that level on Duskmare

#

I don't remember who it was, it might be Learete

grave saddle
#

It was me.

#

Just wait..

lament wharf
#

Oh sweet summer child.

Nope, nothing but the secrets

But don't worry, the horror will come

lament wharf
#

No no, you're not missing anything, don't worry.

steady hull
#

You'll see how truly scary Dusk can be

grave saddle
#

Dusk doesn't play its whole hand immediately.

lament wharf
#

Just have fun playing.

crude stirrup
#

i'm surprised i did 3 levels because i'm actually not that good i'm pretty sure i just got lucky

lament wharf
#

I mean, hopefully it's fun now, but yeah, the game escalates on a curve.

crude stirrup
#

Duskmare

steady hull
#

Game is fun the whole way through, but man does it get harder and scarier

lament wharf
#

But reasonably so.

steady hull
#

Overall, my Cero Miedo playthrough took like 7 hours to finish

lament wharf
#

Didn't really get a 'spike' until Dweller in Darkness.

steady hull
#

Oh that one is the gauntlet of the game

lament wharf
#

Indeed, the rest was a reasonable difficulty climb.

#

It's pretty good that way.

crude stirrup
#

me either bro

steady hull
#

Yeah, the game is the real deal when it starts with three chainsaw wielding enemies running at you

lament wharf
#

And bear in mind, you just tore yourself off of a couple of meathooks when that happens.

#

Establishing yourself nicely in the first few seconds of the game.

#

Yes.

#

You'll... see more later.

crude stirrup
#

By the way does no one play the online I tried playing it for the first time and no one was playing except for one but it was locked

wise crane

lament wharf
#

A bit, but this is the kind of game that stands very nicely on its own, singleplayer.

#

I always consider any multiplayer to be a pure bonus with these shooters.

the final boss's voice sounds so much like one of the hell priests in doom that i'm shocked to learn they're not the same voice actor

lament wharf

Oh he's got way better under his belt than Hell Priests.

#

Us old folks had a bit of a nostalgia gasm recognizing the voice.

#

whos the VA again?

lament wharf
#

Stephan Fucking Weyte.

#

And yes, you have to do the 'Fucking' in there.

#

He's got some cool stuff in his career, but the one that is big for those of us into Boomer Shooters, it's Caleb from Blood.

#

Him doing the voice acting at the end there is just... it like tripled the glee of taking on the boss.

How do I Pacifist E2M10

lapis widget
#

Hit the switches

small ibex
#

I did that

#

I did the whole level without firing a single shot and didnt get it

upbeat pecan
#

It’s because his explosions are touching him

small ibex
#

I even tried to do that

#

I'm just gonna give up on pacifying that level

upbeat pecan
#

Easiest way is to beat it without spawning him. If his grenades hit him it still voids it

#

Even though they do 0 hp damage

small ibex
#

I assume I use level select to spawn with crossbow?

upbeat pecan
#

Or the one that’s in the level

Yea

I did it

33 total counting secret levels, I believe.

#

Ten per episode + a secret level per episode.

#

... no wait, hol on.

#

Yeah, three episodes, ten levels each, plus secret.

steady hull
#

Yeah, this is the average lenght for Arena Shooters from what i know

olive cloud
lament wharf
#

Nah, it's a subset of certain boomer shooters. Painkiller is one, for instance. Serious Sam has the same tendency.

#

It's basically where the game is just a progression of "Go here, get locked in an arena with x bajillion monsters, kill everything, move on, repeat."

olive cloud
#

No

lament wharf
#

Dusk doesn't quite feel like that to me, since it doesn't really 'lock you in' often.

olive cloud
#

Arena shooter refers to multiplayer games like quake and Unreal tournament with item pickups spread around the map

#

i guess "singleplayer arena shooters" are games that have a combat system like Doom 2016 or Doom eternal where you get locked in an arena until all enemies die

lament wharf
#

I mean, I reached top five in Europe in Q3A back when that was the hot tourney ticket, and I never heard it referred to as an Arena Shooter.

olive cloud
#

ok

#

but now is not 1999

lament wharf
#

No, now I hear other boomers like Civvie refer to games like Painkiller etc as Arena Shooters.

olive cloud
lament wharf
#

I do suspect though that we're falling into the Metal trap of infinitely subdividing genres to the point where they become incomprehensible.

olive cloud
#

yea

#

I mean gernes are supposed to categorize media for the consumer not the creator so it wont be that bad

lament wharf
olive cloud
#

Idk i don't think having a lot of subgerne divisions is bad

lament wharf
#

Not necessarily bad but often not particularly constructive or useful either, heh. Mostly it's just a funny part of the whole metal thing.

olive cloud
lament wharf
#

Which, sidenote, I would argue is one of the few genres of anything that you can't parody or satirize without it staying perfectly metal. The more jokes you add, the more metal it becomes. 100% self-aware genre.

olive cloud
#

It also makes sense in metal. If im looking for a certain album/flavor of metal i can just look up all the gerne tags combined on google or metal-forums

lament wharf
#

I think it would be useful, if it was consistent. In practice, at least in my experience, it just bogs things down in "No no, they're not X, they're Y." in endless discussions about the very specific properties of subgenre this or that. Some subdivision is obviously useful, but it's getting a little ridiculous in metal.

#

To the point of being a bit pompous at times.

olive cloud
#

i think you're over complicating things. From my experience it has been perfect to find new music in metal. Basically all of the gerne tags are very descriptive and not to abstract. The only ones that are abstract are attached to movements

lament wharf
#

There's this memepost I can't find right now where one single album by the same band had eight songs and was tagged with fourteen different genres. It was hilarious.

#

And no, I'm kind of arguing that we shouldn't overcomplicate subgenres.

#

Because that's when it becomes less useful.

#

... and I just realized we're way off-topic for the channel, my apologies.

olive cloud
#

Like tags like symphonic, epic, speed are pretty self explanatory and more complex ones like thrash, black and doom are just movements that happened and have a set of attributes

olive cloud
lament wharf
#

... I've been a metalhead since the 80s. I can assure you I'm familiar with the topic.

#

And the culture.

olive cloud
#

ok then i don't understand why this is a problem. IF someone says "symphonic black doom metal" i know exactly what kind of a sound it is

lament wharf
#

See the clip I linked above for an example of less useful subdivision.

olive cloud
#

Yea it's a joke and obvious hyperbole

lament wharf
#

Indeed, but it's also a joke that exists for a reason.

olive cloud
#

but it does make sense +

lament wharf
#

The silly levels of subdivision within metal is a meme and a joke because we recognize it's one of the sillier aspects of the genre.

olive cloud
#

it'S a joke because it seems absurd to people when they encounter it for the first time but it's almost always usefull. I can'T think of subdivisions that don't deserve existing.

lament wharf
#

Again, I would agree if it was consistent. It doesn't tend to be. The same track from the same band listened to by three different metalheads can end up with three completely different designations.

#

Or in extreme cases the eight-track album with fourteen different genres appended to it.

#

God I wish I could remember where I found that.

olive cloud
#

If it's not consistent, the system isn't at fault. Of course there are gerne-tags that are contradictory but if somebody says "speed doom metal" it's not really the systems fault.

lament wharf
#

I answer that in that very same sentence.

#

When subgenres become that disputed because they're needlessly granular to the point where the community can't even agree on what the tags define, they stop being useful.

#

Poorly defined terms don't communicate accurately.

olive cloud
#

Usually when a subgerne is "needlessly granular" it's because it's attached to a musical movement and can't be boiled down to a single trait.

#

Name an example

#

name a gerne tag that is needlessly granular

lament wharf
#

Nah, I'm not going to start calling out specific things. I am wholly opposed to gatekeeping like that.

#

Part of why I consider it lacking in usefulness.

#

My point stands quite firmly on the fact that it really is a common phenomenon that three people listening to the same song will give it three different subgenres, when there's less granular subgenres that do apply consistently.

olive cloud
olive cloud
lament wharf
#

I can do many things. I choose not to do it because I have my own standards to uphold, not other people's standards.

olive cloud
#

Like three people can use a hammer the wrong way

olive cloud
#

We need not offend the X-subgerne-council

lament wharf
#

I repeat: I adhere by my own standards. Please don't strawman me.

olive cloud
lament wharf
#

You seem to take what is essentially a bit of self-aware humor on part of the metalhead community (one you'll find referenced all over) a little too seriously.

#

Is it offensive that some of us don't find the overly convoluted subdivisions useful?

olive cloud
#

can't argue rn will pick up again in 30 minutes

#

or 20

lament wharf
#

Nah, we've derailed the channel quite sufficiently. I think we should probably just end it here.

steady hull
#

This masterpiece?

#

Oh you said 8 songs, that one has 10

lament wharf
#

Hah! That's a great one, but nah, the one I'm thinking of is one of those more obscure metal bands.

steady hull
#

Alright, probably some band i don't know of, i'm not much of a Metal dude

#

Also That album is a fucking trip, all Mr. Bungle albums are, but that one is the most accessible one. Doesn't mean it's any less of a mindfuck of genre surfing and mixing.

Erebus Reactor pales before some of what you've got in store.

I can tell

One thing I gotta ask

#

Is it normal I never got riveter in ep 1?

lapis widget
#

I guess

lament wharf
#

... really? I think I got several.

glass plover
#

Cause it feels like I skipped on something with how many rivets I was finding

#

Yet no riveter gun for episode 1

lament wharf
#

If memory serves, you can get it in the... second level? Or first?

lapis widget
#

Second

#

There’s a secret there

lament wharf
#

Yeah you can get it before that big fight in the forest.

glass plover
#

I suck at getting all secrets

lament wharf
#

Oh I am so very far from 'all'.

#

I just luck out on the obvious ones, on account of having a little boomer shooter experience.

glass plover
#

I don't lol

#

It seems to help a lot

#

I also feel like I've wasted gas cans on enemies

#

Rather than the secrets that could be hiding somewhere near em

#

I've gotten about 1 level completionist and that's it

lament wharf
#

I'm actually pretty sure I never got a 'completionist'? Let me check.

glass plover
#

I got 1 level

#

Where is my trophy

misty swift
lament wharf
#

No completionists for me, no. Got the 'beat par time' on Ep1 boss, somehow.

I also spend a lot of time on levels

im on the dig iirc

#

there some blue keycard and i can see it but how the fuck do i get there

glass plover

I usually get like 2x-4x the dev time lmao

misty swift
#

dont think its mandatory to get. i still want it

glass plover
#

Oh I haven't got through skylabs cause time

lament wharf
#

I should look up what some of those achievements require. No idea what 'low tech' means for instance. Just sickles or something?

glass plover

I'll try to get back on the grind soon enough

This needs to be an achievement/trading card lmao

alright first impressions:
i'm going to be honest, I thought this game was going to be bad and I was starting to get disappointed playing through the first level but that second level had a whole lotta action packed into it, this game is very good and i can't wait to play it more

lament dawn

oh its good trust me

just uh

#

duskworld is uh

#

i remember seeing this game a few months back but then i bought ultrakill and that was REALLLY GOOD and then i remembered this game again and thought that it would be nothing compared to it

#

still love ultrakill to bits

and i don't think that this game is going to beat ultrakill but itl definitely become one of my favourites i can already tell

is there headshot dmg in this game btw?

lament wharf

... you know, I've beaten the game and it didn't actually occur to me to check if there was.

#

I just try for headshots by default, but it's quite possible that they're not here.

#

Can't say I ever noticed it doing anything.

mild ginkgo
#

No there is not

steady hull
#

This is the more Retro style of shooters, you know? besides, there isn't really much in the way of precision guns to really nail a headshot while dodging enemy fire

hey I joined to try to facilitate some big DUSK gaming

glass plover
#

Dusk is fun for my first playthrough

grave saddle
#

I actually really like the lack of headshot damage.

#

Makes the game less about precision and more about movement.

#

Which feels so nice.

I feel like crossbow needs to be used more

#

I have to say, the Wendigos are fantastically designed. They should be fucking awful, but the sound cue - that panting growly thing - and the footsteps and so on somehow makes them awesome instead.

#

Jumpscary, sure, but the good kind.

#

The one that I went a bit BULLSHIT! about the first time (and mellowed out on after) was the one in that trap with all the cultists.

#

Suddenly realizing you're dealing with something helluvalot more dangerous than some hooded hillbilly magician wannabes was a bit of a "Oh come on!" moment.

It's a pretty well known out of bounds spot, yes.

Although I have to admit, I'm really curious about the story behind it.

stiff cobalt
vernal matrix
#

And it was the first time a wendigo fucking scared me

steady hull
#

Wendigos scared me from the very first time

#

This game can do horror really well

misty swift
#

wendigos dont scare me as much anymore, but if i hear that fucking breathing or see a blood trail, fuck all im finding that wendigo

#

ive seen games with enemies that are literally just invisible with no way to see them its so stupid, im glad dusk actually does it well

#

another cool example of invisible enemies being fun to track would be priscilla from dark souls

lament wharf
#

If the sound cues are good, you can get away with fully invisible enemies, but Dusk does indeed give you all the tools necessary to deal more reasonably with such things.

misty swift
#

even if you cant hear it well, you can still see it and thats super important for accessibility

The sound Wendigo’s make when you find them always sends a chill up my spine

If you're finding yourself too short on health, it is a way to get it back. That or smoke hard.

But as for tips... well, learn to strafejump. Basically move diagonally while bouncing like a bunny.

Once you've got that down pat, you're basically invulnerable.

i like how the corsair changes to a cool S when you smoke

Other than that, take your time to look for secrets. They can be downright mandatory on higher difficulties.

Blow up every crack in the wall etc.

#

i am very new to the game

lament wharf
#

That said, none of this is downright mandatory unless you're on high difficulty.

#

On 'normal' you can get by with whatever the level gives you, so my 'advice' for a new guy... shoot it until it dies, always keep moving, have fun.

lament wharf
#

Oh, and the answer to 90% of "how do I kill..." is Super Shotgun.

As it should be.
